    Centre firm on veto in judge selection rules
  • The finalization of the MoP for appointing judges is expected to get delayed with the Centre being firm on continuing a clause that empowers it to reject a Chief Justice-headed collegium's proposal.

    The law minister Sadanand Gowda said, ''the Centre's position on the `national interest' clause is in sync with SC judgements. The government is following the SC's direction in appointing judges".

    What is the collegium system?

    What is the collegium system?
  • The collegium system allows the Chief Justice of India and a panel of four senior-most judges of the Supreme Court to recommend appointments and transfers of judges.

    The collegium system was framed by the Supreme Court judgments in the 'Three Judges Case' (October 28, 1998).

    The collegium system was criticised by the Centre for creating empire within the empire.

  • Formation of NJAC

    Establishment of National Judicial Appointments Commission

    Establishment of National Judicial Appointments Commission
  • The NJAC was formed by amending the Constitution Act 2014 and was passed by the Lok Sabha on 13 August 2014.

    It was proposed to replace the existing system, making the appointment of High court and Supreme court judges and chief justices more transparent.

    Articles 124 A and B of the Indian Penal Code explain the NJAC, its members and their duties.

    Drawbacks of the collegium system

    Drawbacks of the collegium system
  • The Supreme Court Bar Association criticized the collegium system for promoting a "give-and-take" culture.

    SC Justice Jasti Chelameswar, the only judge who approved adoption of the NJAC, criticized the collegium process for a severe lack of transparency.

    Under the collegium system, the judges were selected on criteria like caste, religion, office affiliations, political considerations and even personal interests.
